< Psalms 52 >

1 To the choirmaster a poem of David. When came - Doeg the Edomite and he told to Saul and he said to him he has gone David to [the] house of Ahimelech. Why? do you boast in evil O mighty [man] [the] covenant loyalty of God [is] all the day.
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.
2 Destruction it plots tongue your like a razor sharpened O doer of deceit.
Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good falsehood - more than speaking righteousness (Selah)
Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
4 You love all words of swallowing a tongue of deceit.
Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
5 Also God he will tear down you to perpetuity he will snatch up you and he will tear away you from a tent and he will root up you from [the] land of living [people] (Selah)
God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 So they may see righteous [people] so they may fear and on him they will laugh.
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7 There! the man [who] not he made God refuge his and he trusted in [the] greatness of rich[es] his he was strong in destruction his.
Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8 And I - [am] like an olive tree luxuriant in [the] house of God I trust in [the] covenant loyalty of God forever and ever.
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
9 I will give thanks to you for ever for you have acted and I may wait for name your for [it is] good before faithful [people] your.
I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
